Underwater Experiences Lyrics

I bet your underwater experiences came in handy
When you bit the hand that offered candy
And flashed the smile that sank the ship
And reached the post before the pip
Where salient green depths still refract
To bend the mind and hide the facts

I bet you never learned that you had a track for the vertigo
Well I was far too willing to go slow
Launching into attractive space
Falling from that pure state of grace
32 feet per sec per sec per sec per sec
To free my mind and break my neck
